Today: A HOT Father’s Day

Current temperatures seems to be in the high-60s to low-70s across southcentral Kentucky.

While we’re with family today, make sure to take frequent breaks inside (away from the heat) as both temperatures and humidity will be high. The temperature, humidity, and low winds make for an uncomfortable mix that we call a heat index. The high temperature is expected to hit around the mid-90s but the heat index should sit around 100° today.

Make sure to reduce activities outside as much as possible; however, while outside, make sure to keep hydrated and seek for shade. Tonight, the skies will stay clear and temperatures will drop to the mid-70s.

Tomorrow: Possibility of Storms

Monday is expected to be hot but there are chances of rain and thunderstorms tomorrow. Temperatures in the 90s and slight southeasterly winds all day. Tomorrow night will be cloudy for the most part and the winds will shift to a southwesterly direction.

Rain and thunderstorms are expected for the rest of the week; maybe we’ll get some relief after all this heat. You all have a great day and make sure to keep updated on the latest weather by following @wxornotbg on Twitter.
